Dashboard misaligned on brand new truck!

[Pointoflight]

So I pick up my new truck. Thought I did a good job looking it over before driving off, but guess not. As I am driving the car a week later, I notice that the dashboard is not fitted properly on the drivers side. There's a noticeable gap  where there should not be. It's fine and flush on the rpassenger side. Gonna take it back to the dealer, but I hate the thought of some "technician" trying to adjust/fit it properly. The dealership did a piss poor job of installing the drop in bed liner so am scared that they will mess something up in attempting to fix ithe dash issue. Anyone know if this is an easy fix for the dealership?

 

This is my first chevy and not happy that they can't properly fit a dashboard. Zero quality control for fit and finish. Man I am steamed.

This is one of those issues I would file under "leave well enough alone." Like you already said yourself, I would not want some tech tearing apart the whole dash. It will never be the same as when it left the factory and you could open up another can of worms with rattles etc.

Post some pictures, that way others can compare. If you do go back, look at other similar trucks to see if it looks the same.

Makes me think that it was already played with before you bought it. Check it out good.

Common issue. Not sure if I will have it fixed or not.

Leave it alone IMO.

Opening a can of worms for a small issue.

Hope that's the only issue as miles rack up.

Very common issue. Leave it alone. Can't be fixed without tearing your truck apart and no guarantee they can fix it.

You didn't see this issue on the test drive?

The fit and finish on this generation of trucks have been outstanding, imo.  Take detailed pictures and involve gm customer service if you don't trust your dealer.  I'd also suggest finding a dealership that you do trust.  These vehicles are not individually sculpted and are designed to fit together properly.

I'm going to take it back to the dealer to see if they can fix this without taking the dashboard off. Maybe it's a simple adjustment?  To answer a previous reply, I didn't see it on a test drive. Noticed it when I was cleaning it for the first time. Now it's one of those things that catches your eye that simple drives me nuts. Yeah in the scheme of things it's not a big deal but when you pay a lot of money for something you want it to be right.
